London: In a strong show of support to India, UK’s former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak firmly backed New Delhi’s action against cross-border terrorism following Operation Sindoor and said that “India is justified in striking terrorist infrastructure.”
Sharing a post on X, Sunak said, “No nation should have to accept terrorist attacks being launched against it from land controlled by another country. India is justified in striking terrorist infrastructure. There can be no impunity for terrorists.”
Meanwhile, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy urged India and Pakistan to show restraint and indulge in “direct dialogue” following Operation Sindoor, a targeted strike mission to destroy terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
The UK Foreign Secretary further said that both sides must work to restore regional stability and ensure the protection of civilians.
“Current tensions between India and Pakistan are a serious concern. The UK government is urging India and Pakistan to show restraint and engage in direct dialogue to find a swift, diplomatic path forward,” Lammy said. (ANI)
